[QUOTE="Gina, post: 539858, member: 36065"] This circuit got 4 plugs in 2 different bedrooms and one fusebox in upstairs cupboard in which there are the wires connecting this heating zone controller device. Luckly the fusebox we could take it out completely and plug the wires from the heating 2 zones controller at a 2 sockets plug next to the fusebox. So, the fusebox upstairs in the cupboard, independent to the consumer unit new installed, is disambled/out. But I wonder now, the tripping came from the one bedroom plugs. If we disconnect those 2 tripping plugs complety, could it be possible that the circuit will be working fine for the next 2 plugs in the other bedroom? Meaning the fault could have been the 2 plugs which tripped a lot in the one bedroom? Luckly again we have a third plug on a different working circuit in this bedroom, but we would need one plug for the second bedroom. P.S. The electrician measured the wires with his Megger tester, and ground one was 99 or so. He said it should be close to zero as the neutral and live wire. He should return sometime soon.. but from his point, that circuit is faulty and cannot be used, unless tracked and fixed, which means taking boards out.. [/QUOTE]
